Carrie Underwood fans have come to know and love her for her dazzling onstage outfits and jaw-dropping mid-show costume changes, so the country superstar knew right off the bat that she wanted to turn up the bling for her Reflection Las Vegas residency, which opened last December.

“For Reflection, it is all about more rhinestones and more fringe,” Carrie explains to People, offering a peek at the 20-outfit ensemble she assembled for the residency, with help from stylist Emma Trask.

To that end, one of her favorite looks is the outfit she wears to open her show: a rhinestone-and-pearl-drenched white number with ankle-length fringe.

“I’m always inspired by Dolly Parton, and we had one of her associates that’s worked with her on our team,” Carrie says. “With all the white and the fringe and rhinestones, I immediately thought of Dolly.”

Emma says that the “Nash Vegas” concept was a major theme she drew from in assembling every look — and the creative team took that direction literally with one bedazzled denim jacket, which reads “Nash Vegas” on the back along with Carrie’s name.
